Abstract (may include machine translation)
We show how computer simulations can give unique information on the growth of nanostructures and thin films. Specifically, they can predict the morphologies and the island size distributions corresponding to different growth mechanisms. This information cannot be obtained from other approaches such as mean-field mathematical theories or scaling analysis. Special attention is given to the effects of small cluster mobility on experimental results.
